Table 1.1 presents the results of the mean distribution of technology access
among respondents. The results have a composite mean of 3.51, and a verbal
interpretation of moderate. The item that has the highest mean is having a mobile
gadget with a mean of 3.88, while the lowest item is having a fast internet connection for
school with a mean of 3.27. The results show that the respondents have the same
interpretation of moderate on all items.
Having mobile gadgets or technology ranked first because most of the
respondents use mobile technology rather than computers and laptop. Meanwhile,
having a fast internet connection for school or classes ranked lowest because the
Philippines is still a developing country. This results to a poor internet connection and
unadvanced network systems.
Technology becomes an essential part of our daily life. E-learning, the internet,
and computers have been used vitally in the teaching and learning process. The study
of Khan and Raad (2020) has proven and shown how E-learning and using applications,
such as Zoom, Teams, Veev, Google Classroom, and many others, have helped the
students study at home in COVID-19 crisis. This related literature supported the results
of the table.
